I believe that the Q arrived in Naperville after the town was pretty well established near the river. The railroad stayed on the high ground north of the original downtown. Regards, Al Kamm From: "dfhollis@comcast.net"

From: "MIKE" <mactach@sbcglobal.net> Perhaps this is the wrong forum since it's more about the town itself but I've noticed how its downtown grew around the DuPage River instead of the tracks like most towns along the CBQ.
Anyone know why?
Probably wasn't a good idea considering how badly DT Naperville flooded the spring but that's a different story.
